The Pick Two Draft Thread

[Fafnir]

Ricky won't be back for at least two years, three if he wants to avoid the Rookie salary scale.

yup barcelona contract is i think 9 millions for 6 years or something like that

[ChampKind]

5th pick coming up, along with Pierce and Mayo, are available.

[KCattheStripe]

We're big, and we're talented.

After the 2010-2011 season is what I've read.  It hurts my team now, and it may have been a bit early to pick for him as a result, but I didn't have any better picks this early in the second round.

Chat is good place to talk trades rather than spam the board.


But incidentally my 2nd, Nene, and Devin Harris are all for sale.

[Roy Hobbs]

The Robber Barons select Elton Brand.

(Commitment: I told my boss I needed to take a break for a meeting for this pick. )

[PLamb]

Isn't Brand more of a center now that he's been back?

Well his gravitational pull is certainly stronger than it has been in the past

[Lucky17]

I think he can play either position, but I think he's really a PF.

Good value, and a good veteran to put alongside the young pups.

Interesting pick.  Bit of a broken down frontcourt.  (then again, this is Roy picking and he is known for those broken down picks)

Grizzlies are gonna reach here for a consistent and efficient player. Doesn't rebound enough, but that might be more of the Scola effect than his deficiencies. Plays solid defense, can play from anywhere on the court, and is a nice complement to a true center like Gasol.

Carl Landry

Solid pick and a growing team with a very nice core, in my opinion

Thanks. He's having a nice year and doing a little bit of everything, including shooting very well. A nice consistent piece on both sides of the ball, but a tough choice given all the other talent that's still out there.
